Disha Ravi

A Delhi court on Monday sent arrested climate activist Disha Ravi to one-day police custody.

The 21-year-old activist was arrested on charges of being involved in sharing a “toolkit” on social media related to the farmers’ protest against the farm bills

Chief metropolitan magistrate Pankaj Sharma allowed custodial interrogation of Ravi after police said she was required to be confronted with co-accused.

Ravi was produced before the court on the expiry of her three-day judicial remand.

The court on Friday had sent her to judicial custody after police had said her custodial interrogation was not required for the time being.

The agency had said that it would seek her further custodial interrogation once co-accused — Nikita Jacob and Shantanu Muluk — join the interrogation on February 22.

The Delhi Police sought the custody of Disha for five more days while presented her before Magistrate Pankaj Sharma of the Patiala House Court at the end of her three-day judicial custody.

The court, however, granted only one-day police custody.
